I will think about snipers, that could be a sort of addition. Thing is there was historically lack of those. I read a book, not sure if released in English, written by veterans of that division. La Baronne engagement - key one of battle of Lagarde - was fought from very static position against single, strong German wave. It all went to hell only after Colonel Dagnan's force suddenly broke to the south, what is represented by you know what (I would like to avoid spoilers for others :P)

As of rally... no units are modified when comes to exp/mor settings, only all 0 units (platoon leaders) have their surnames changed as entire list of all troops of the division is available. Poland in 1940 comes with 65/55 setting. Which is good, as officers are experienced after 1939 and they took extensive training prior. Privates however were mostly recruited from polish minority in France, only small percent managed to make their way from occupied country.
This book does not state this directly (as it would be serious self-criticism), but in the later stages division suffered from lots of desertions, as many troops felt connected to France and refused to conduct fighting withdrawal to the end.

So I wonder if that should not me for decreased rally? Also, isn't rally assigned basing on exp and morale of particular unit?


PS: If anyone wanted, I also have detailed polish book about Carpathian Rifles - including detailed depiction of Carmusset er Regem battle (present as scenario in SPWW2), but also Tobruk combat in general.
As for other scenarios, I have a huge list - I want to make a lot of Sicily, Fustian, Ladbroke, Gela (probably as 2-3 scenarios) and Centuripe.
Finally, I still have untouched book about General Maczek's 1st Polish Armoured Division. They had pretty rough fight work depicting. I will see what I can do

Since the books says that their defense was static (I am assuming from prepared positions) maybe some sandbag foxholes or other minor fortifications could be added to simulate these.

Just noticed that I have been promoted to Corporal.

Bit of a cake walk as the Germans.

Using arty to pin the Polish units and then closing in for the kill I cleared the towns before the reinforcements even arrived and cleared the woods by turn 30.

Air strikes took out the rear area units moving forward.

AI failed to keep up a constant arty barrage when my units were sighted so they were able to move out of the danger zone with minimal damage. The AI kept shelling me rear area units rather than using arty fire to slow my forward advance.

Still was a fun scenario. Gave me a chance to do a classic infantry advance under fire.
